A Generator Makes All The Difference

Having learned their lesson about preparation from 2011’s Hurricane Irene and October snowstorm, power company crews from Connecticut Light and Power and United Illuminating were hard at work restoring electricity across the state after Hurricane Sandy. But on October 31 (9 days after the storm hit), more than 450,000 state homes and businesses in Connecticut were still without power.

Some scientists believe the storms like Hurricane Sandy are increasing in intensity due to climate change. More intense storms means more power outages, which could last for days. In addition, power outages are often the result of aging transformers or power crew mistakes, such as accidentally cutting a cable. 

We rely on electricity for the most basic necessities, such as heating, lightning, and refrigeration. To prevent your family from being left in the dark, a home standby generator is the answer. When the power goes out, a home standby generator turns on automatically, restoring electricity to your home. This gives you peace of mind and the ability to live your busy life uninterrupted.

WHY BUY A HOME STANDBY GENERATOR?

• Strength: Home standby generators are able to power all your large appliances including heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, ovens, and dryers.
• Speed: When the power goes out, a home standby generator begins operating in as little as 10 seconds. When power from the utility line resumes, the generator shuts down automatically.
• Noise: Home standby generators produce the same amount of noise as a central air conditioner.
• Design: The enclosure on the best home standby generators are 100% corrosion-proof, which is perfect for all extreme weather conditions.
• On The Go: You can manage your home standby generator from anywhere using smartphone apps.
• Safety: Home standby generators run on on liquid propane or natural gas, producing no carbon monoxide fumes.
